I've had a real hard time finding AT cases for sale at a reasonable price. When they DO show up on ebay they're often over $100 once you factor in shipping. Funny, since a brand new ATX case can cost as low as $30 shipped.
What I've been searching for is an early-90's style AT case with a segment display (for showing the CPU clock speed). I managed to find one on ebay about a year ago, but still have not gotten around to figuring out the jumper array. 😕 That case is now my beloved Pentium 166.
I also had a Biostar 8433uud motherboard laying around for almost a year waiting for a case, and recently finally gave in and put it in one of my old ATX cases. I needed an adapter which allows you to use an AT motherboard with an ATX power supply, and this one works great! (http://r.ebay.com/rI0f7j)
For my next few builds (yes, five vintage boxes is NOT enough) I'll be grabbing some cheap beige ATX cases and using one of these adapters.
Has anyone else here done this? AT board in an ATX case?
